Looking forward to you fleshing out the details of your close encounters in your Man Card style ;)
Don't know if your knew it or not, but last time I talked with Q-Dave, that was his full time gig, summer/winter, working as the road grader driver from Hwy-11 down the the LLC Village limits.
He had mentioned that when traveling this road that drivers would be well advised to stay as far to right as they can becasue the trucks hauling lumber/etc get paid by the load and use as much of the road as they can to drive as fast as they can :'(
He used to monitor his CB when he took me to Beaverhouse and said that when it was hot and dry to look for the dust clouds ahead and get over and maybe even stop when spotted. Cold wet weather you better stay alert ;D
